Is there a fix for wipers getting blown out of position? I've had to stop multiple times to get out and pull them back into place. Even in not so heavy storms, anything around 60mph and they get blown out of wack.

Seems they need to be tightened at the spindle?
 
The nut is at the base of the wiper where it comes through the housing. Be careful not to break the spindle.

I agree with Boat Bum. Mark the windshield where you want the blades to rest on the off position (masking tape works well). Remove the Wiper Arms (not just the blades). There should be a boot that you can slip off of the stem. You will then see a nut that will need to be tightened. You may need to reach in behind with a wrench to hold the base nut in order to get it good and tight. Once tightened reinstall the arm resting the blade where you marked .

You ever have problems with the auto leveling? I'm getting "excess angle" won't even attempt to auto level on flat ground. Maybe a system reset of some sort? It's been very finicky in the past but now won't even try.

We had a similar issue. Our coach has "Equalizer Systems SmartLevel" Pretty easy to reprogram. We had a hydraulic line break and lost a bunch of fluid. Once we had the line replaced and the system bled, all we did was manually level the coach using a carpenters level on the floor. Side to side and front to back.. Hit the power switch to turn the system off. Then hold down the Auto Level button then turning the power back on. You will hear the system beep and then a tone will come on telling you the reprogram is complete.
